Chapter 1000 Registration (7000 Words)
Ye Yaodong was in a good mood as he listened to everyone crying for their father and mother, and returned to the workshop to watch.
There was a lot of work going on inside, and the sounds of croaking and croaking kept ringing. A group of old aunts and women kept gossiping while working.
Several long wooden boards were placed against the wall. Originally, they were planned to place one long board against the wall. However, these women found it inconvenient to talk, so they moved it themselves and placed them next to each other. There is a long strip, and people on both sides are killing fish back to back, and they can still whisper to each other.
Moreover, a long board can accommodate people on both sides, which increases the utilization rate.
The two long dragons looked like they were in their forties or fifties. Each of them was wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket and wore sleeves and gloves. When they spoke, their breath was still misty, but their faces were filled with smiles, and they didn't feel anything at all. The sea breeze blows coldly.
There were a lot of people coming and going in the open space, moving and washing, and there were about sixty or seventy people there.
He walked around the workshop, and everyone at most said hello to him, and then continued talking to themselves. They didn't regard him as the boss at all, but as a young boy.
He was extremely enthusiastic about his mother. He kept saying that his mother had a good life and would be very lucky when she got old.
But he walked around here and didn't see his mother there.
The few boys who had hugged his lap early were extremely enthusiastic about him. As soon as he came to the workshop, they immediately followed him and explained to him how many people had been killed and how much they had dried in the morning. More than a dozen baskets of shrimps are cooked and sun-dried.
He saw that the open space was covered with fishing nets, either hung to dry or laid flat to dry. As far as he could see, they were full of toads and fish, and the smell of large tracts of seafood hit his nostrils.
"When the sun is full, go to the next door to dry it. You can use the large open space next door. Hanging the sun is more space-saving. This trip is more than 20,000 kilograms, almost 30,000 kilograms of goods. The space needs to be relatively large. Anyway, there are no broken fishing nets. There are so many of them, they are all hanging in the sun.”
"I know, my aunt said the same thing just now. She said that the fishing net is not broken and can be used to dry. She asked us to hang it up with a rope to dry."
"Where's my mother?"
"Tell me to go to the village committee and come back later."
His mother, this shouldn’t be considered free money!
After walking around, he saw Ah Qing drying his clothes there and walked over.
"Aren't there so many people? Why are you following them?"
"Then I don't want to do anything? Just stand there and watch?"
Shouldn't we circle around him? Just now, he was running so fast and pretending to be busy. Wouldn't these tasks be the same with or without her?
"You've hired someone, so just let them do it. If your son doesn't do his homework and is still playing at the door, go take care of him."
"Aren't you your son? Don't you know how to take care of it? Why did you tell me specifically? I put my hands in my pockets and walked around. My son doesn't know how to take care of me. Today is the last day to register. You can take him to school in the afternoon. I don't have time. ."
"You're just working in vain."
"It's your son every day. I don't know who his father is or what his surname is. Go and ask him to do his homework. Otherwise, he won't be able to register in the afternoon and he will be beaten to death. Go, go, don't get in the way here... …”
Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose. The complaint failed. The one who was disliked had no choice but to wander around somewhere else.
"Haha, Brother Dong, do you listen to your sister-in-law?"
"What? I'm not listening to her. I'm just letting her watch her take care of the house, and do the busy work inside and outside. I won't be idle all day long, so I won't stand in front of her and be an eyesore."
He went to the fish sauce workshop next door. There was also a mountain of miscellaneous fish piled up at the door of the innermost row of warehouses. Two women were moving in and out constantly, and his aunt was still there spreading salt and fermenting the fish.
This fermented fish sauce is not like drying fish, which requires a lot of people to slaughter. For this thing, you only need to pour the fish into it, then sprinkle salt evenly, and seal it. Most elderly women can do it.
So there were only three deserted people there carrying the work. Anyway, the work was very fast. They poured it in basket by basket. It was estimated that it would be finished in the evening or tomorrow.
He moved to other rooms.
Other rooms are also filled with large buckets, some filled with tanks of fish sauce that have been filtered out, and some empty tanks that have not yet been used, probably just returned.
There are still a dozen large barrels in the open space next to the dried fish workshop that have not yet been filtered out, and it is not time.
Everything looked in order, and it made no difference whether he was there or not.
Looking at it like this, Ye Yaodong felt more relieved.
Even when I wasn't at home, both parties were still running smoothly. Even though I was too tired when I came back yesterday and was surrounded by a bunch of neighbors talking, I didn't even have time to chat with Ah Qing.
I don’t know the sales and delivery situation of fish sauce these days after the New Year.
Also, I just heard those women chatting, and there seems to be some gossip about Ah Wei and the Wang family, oh, and about her brother Asheng.
These women are divided into several circles. This circle talks about this, and that circle talks about that. They chatter like tens of thousands of ducks.
He listened to a few words from one person and a few words from that person, without beginning or end. He didn't listen carefully and understood it. Moreover, these people gossiped and quickly jumped to the next topic.
"You two are going to work, why are you following me? I have my own workshop, am I familiar with it? Don't be lazy!" Ye Yaodong walked around a lot and found that there were two more people following him. He looked around and said.
"Haha, aren't you afraid that Brother Dong wants to ask questions and can't find anyone to answer? We will follow and we can answer whatever you ask."
"There's nothing more to ask. If you have any, just ask my wife. Go ahead. You guys should pay attention to your shift arrangements. There are three shifts, twenty-four hours a day. I brought Chen Shi to the boat, and Chen Qishui came aboard again. There are only five of you on board the Harvest. If there is one missing, I will ask Ah Qing to call another person for you later."
"Okay, okay, there is only one person left, so there will be two people in each of the three shifts. Recently, we only have one person in line during the day, because people come and go during the day, so it doesn't matter."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong finished shopping and found that there was nothing wrong with him. He was going to train his children so that they would not have to catch up with the unfinished building construction deadlines. The two of his family were having too much fun.
In the open space in front of the door just now, the girls were playing and singing Malanhua twenty-one, and the boys were playing cockfighting. Now there was only a group of girls left, and the boys were all gone, probably all driven home.
No, there are two other people from his family who actually got mixed up with the girls. They are really promising.
The little girls who were singing and dancing there just now changed their tricks again and played with the rubber bands he bought for them. Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were dancing with the rubber bands behind the girls, and they were the two tail ones.
When he got closer, Ye Chenghu made a mistake in his jump and was forced to stand still.
He slapped his eldest son directly on the back of his head.
"Are you promising? You can even jump on rubber bands? Are you ashamed of a boy jumping rubber bands behind a group of girls?"
Ye Chenghu touched the back of his head and looked behind him warily. He was relieved when he found that his mother was not there.
"Not ashamed."
"No one wants to play with you anymore, right? Everyone has gone to catch up on their homework, and you still don't want to write? You don't want to sign up or study this afternoon, right?"
Ye Chenghu's eyes lit up, "I'll write it right away!"
In an instant, he took out the rubber band hooked on his foot and put it directly on his father's hand.
"Dad, I'm going to do my homework, you stand up for me!"
Ye Yaodong looked at the rubber band on his hand with a confused look on his face. A group of nieces in front of them all turned to look at him after jumping halfway and discovered the different owner of the rubber band, and then looked at each other, do you want to continue?
He looked at the rubber band on his hand, he couldn't really stand here for his son.
"Yangyang, come here."
Ye Chengyang shook his head, "No, I didn't jump wrong, I don't want to stand."
Ye Yaodong looked at his niece on the other side who just stretched out one leg with a rubber band, searching all over the ground, and then charged at the Dalmatian.
"Come here, come here."
The spotted dog ran to his feet wagging its tail, and he put the rubber band directly on the dog's neck, which frightened it into struggling and rolling around, and then it quickly ran away.
"Woof woof woof woof woof..."
Ye Yaodong watched funnyly as it rolled and crawled a hundred meters away, then barked at him, dumbfounded.
When he turned his eyes to the other dogs around him, the other dogs also backed away for more than ten meters and barked at him.
"Woof woof woof woof woof..."
"What are you doing? You are so uncooperative. Don't you just want to ask you to come over and stand up?"
"Woof woof woof woof... woof woof woof..."
"Dad, they are afraid that you will eat dog meat!" Ye Chengyang laughed so hard that he burst out laughing.
"Woof woof woof..."
Ye Yaodong thought about the fact that Xiaohua's quilt was tied around his neck before, and he felt psychological shadow.
I just thought that it was the closest just now, and its neck should be about the same thickness as their little girl's legs. It should be about the same size with a rubber band on it and standing there as a stake.
He was so frightened that he almost wet his butt.
Run so far out.
He pulled the rubber band, straightened it, and said wordlessly: "I want to stew dog meat for the Chinese New Year, why wait until now?"
“You can’t eat dogs!”
Ye Xiaoxi came out of nowhere, ran up to him, and kept slapping him.
"You can't eat dogs~ Daddy, I'll beat you~"
"I didn't... na na na, you came just in time, then come, come and stand."
Ye Yaodong put the rubber band on her head, put it on her legs, moved her to stand, and took out one foot.
"You just stand here and stand up for them."
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly stopped and looked at it curiously.
The old lady also came out of the yard and said, "As soon as I heard that you were eating dog meat outside, she was so panicked that she ran out in the middle of pooping."
"Did you wipe your butt?"
"Wipe it, hold it for me, wipe her butt before letting her come out."
No wonder I didn't see it just now.
After someone stood up, the little girls could continue their rubber band jumping. Ye Chengyang followed a bunch of girls and followed them.
Ye Yaodong was bored and crossed his arms on his chest, watching them dance.
The dogs around him were still more than ten meters away from him, not daring to get close to him, and watching him warily, ready to run away at any time.
The Dalmatian dog was still pacing back and forth more than a hundred meters away, but would not come close or go home.
"Tch, I went for a ride on my motorcycle."
"Woof woof woof woof~"
"Dad, I'll go with you..." Ye Chengyang hurried over immediately.
Ye Xiaoxi also hurriedly came over to hug his thigh.
Ye Yaodong looked at each other and tried to kick his legs several times but couldn't get rid of them.
"Go away, it's very cold when the wind blows while riding a motorcycle."
"I have a scarf and gloves, so I'm not afraid of the cold!"
Ye Xiaoxi also nodded immediately.
"You are holding my legs and telling me how to walk? How can I ride a motorcycle?"
The two of them immediately let go, but followed him step by step.
A group of girls nearby looked at it with envy. They only got close and touched it. They didn't even sit on it. Only a few boys climbed up and sat and played for a while, and then they were kicked off. It's not their turn.
Ye Yaodong opened the nylon bag covering the motorcycle in the corner. This motorcycle cannot be left unused for a long time. It will break down and the machine must be running constantly.
As soon as it started, two little guys climbed up from the sidecar, and he followed them.
"Sit tight, Yangyang, hug your sister, don't be thrown out."
As soon as the motorcycle drove out of the hospital, Ye Chenghu ran out of the house in a hurry.
"Dad!? Dad! Wait for me, there is me, there is me, don't leave me behind, dad... dad..."
All that was left to him was motorcycle exhaust. Ye Yaodong deliberately pretended not to hear and left without him.
This time, it was rare that the bunch of dogs stayed far away. Seeing him going out on his motorcycle, they didn't run wildly behind him.
Ye Chenghu trotted after him for a while but failed to catch up. He stamped his feet angrily on the spot.
"Ahhhhhhh... Damn it, you left me behind. You took them to play without me..."
While doing homework in the room, he heard the sound of a motorcycle starting up. He was puzzled for a moment and thought he had heard wrongly. When he ran out, he found that he had been abandoned.
He was so angry that he kept kicking rocks and soil on the ground, and his whole body was about to explode. However, he stood alone in the open space, and no one paid attention to him.
He burst into tears and ran to complain to Lin Xiuqing, but he almost didn't get a beating.
I could only cry and go home to do my homework again.
His mother said that if he failed to register in the afternoon, all the new year's money would be taken away, and all the toys would be sent to his father to cousin Ayuan and cousin Awen. He would not be able to keep any of them.
Ye Chenghu shed tears while doing his homework, and they fell down. He felt extremely wronged.
Until Ye Yaodong ran around the town and bought some snacks and came back, he was still angry and refused to eat.
"Have some backbone! I was originally going to take you to sign up on a motorcycle in the afternoon, but now you can go on foot."
"Ah! I want it, I want it..."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him, took the big bubble gum in his hand and threw it into his mouth. He put the rest back in his pocket and didn't give him any.
"Dad~"
"Write your homework."
"Okay, okay."
Ye Chenghu instantly gained motivation and was no longer depressed.
But who would have expected that when he finished his homework in the afternoon and was waiting expectantly for his father to take him to sign up on a motorcycle, his father got on his bicycle.
"What are you doing standing there? Get in the car."
Ye Chenghu was walking out with his finished homework in his hand. After being stopped, he stood by the door in confusion and looked inside, then at the motorcycle outside.
"No, it's a motorcycle, dad."
"Who told you about motorcycles? Come up here."
"You said it. You went out on a motorcycle in the morning and told me when you came back. You said you would take me to sign up for a motorcycle ride in the afternoon."
"Innocent, what I said was originally, what I really told you was to walk. Now I am mercifully taking you on a bicycle, so don't pick and choose for me, otherwise you will walk."
"You can't keep your word..."
"I didn't promise you anything, and I didn't give you any promises. Don't make any assumptions. I just asked you to do your homework."
Ye Chenghu's young heart was traumatized.
"you're lying!"
"I'm not lying. I didn't promise you anything. Be more careful in the future. This is a lesson for you." Ye Yaodong pushed his bicycle to the door, "Do you want to come up?"
Ye Chenghu's face was filled with anger.
"Look at how angry you are, you look like a toad."
"You are the toad, the toad!"
"Then you are a little toad!"
"You old toad!"
"What are you talking about? Why are you two father and son blocking the door? What the hell, aren't you going to sign up? Why are you blocking the door and not going?"
The old lady was taking care of her vegetables in the yard, but she heard the father and son scolding each other, not knowing what they were doing.
"They... toads..." Ye Xiaoxi stood in the yard with a confused face, pointed at the father and son with his index finger, and said to the old lady.
"nonsense."
Ye Yaodong pushed his bicycle out of the door, stood in the yard, and faced Ye Chenghu, who was still standing there with a stinky face behind him.
"Do you want to sign up? If it's a little later, you have to pay the registration fee yourself. Your mother told you during dinner that if you can't sign up this afternoon, she gave all your toys to your cousins."
He reluctantly moved bit by bit, his resentful little eyes constantly looking at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong didn't tolerate him either. He climbed up first and waited for the people behind him to climb up before riding the bicycle.
Ye Chenghu waited all the way until he reached the school gate and couldn't help but ask: "Why can't I ride a motorcycle? Why should I ride a bicycle?"
"Because I need gas money."
"But you rode your motorcycle into town this morning."
"Yes, I have already ridden it, there is no need to ride it again."
"The school is so close..."
"So if you sign up next year, you can just walk."
Ye Chenghu was angry again.
"Go faster!"
"Ye Chenghu...Is this your dad? Your dad is so tall..."
"Ye Chenghu...Wow, your father brought you here on a bicycle?"
"Does your family have a bicycle? My family has a bicycle, but my father is reluctant to ride it..."
"Ye Chenghu, have you finished your homework?"
"My dad said your dad is so rich..."
Along the way, the expression on Ye Chenghu's face kept changing, gradually turning from cloudy to sunny. By the time he walked from the school gate to the classroom, he was already smiling and jumping happily.
Ye Yaodong looked in front and couldn't help but shook his head.
"Walk faster, you are still talking there, which classroom is it? Which teacher is it?"
"Here, here, dad, here at this iron railing."
Ye Yaodong looked at the window in front of him. There were several rusty iron railings on it, and the bottom half was sealed, leaving the top half open.
Looking next to me, the parents at the window were all standing on tiptoes, leaning their bodies and half of their shoulders, wanting to stuff them in. They just put the money and homework books in their hands through the iron railings.
"It's like being a spy or visiting a prisoner..."
He muttered quietly.
The teacher inside asked seriously: "Which class are you signing up for? What's your name?"
"Which class are you in?"
"Class 1, Grade 2..."
"Oh, Ye Chenghu, Class 2, Grade 1."
"Where's the homework?"
Ye Yaodong, a tall man, stuffed his hands through the railing, then grabbed the railing with both hands and watched the teacher turn over the homework.
"The homework is so sloppy and the handwriting is flying. Did you do your homework well during the winter vacation?"
He looked at Ye Chenghu, and Ye Chenghu also looked at him.
"Dad, you said yes."
"have."
The teacher glanced up through the iron railing, "You still write like this? What kind of homework did you do? Write one word in two words...I will sign you up today and collect the homework. If you fail the test tomorrow, you will have to do it again. …”
"Okay, okay." Ye Yaodong quickly handed over the registration fee.
Fortunately, he was taller. From the window next to him, he saw that all the coins were thrown away. The coins were scattered all over the table and on the floor, and it took him a while to pick them up.
There was also a voice of complaint from the teacher inside, "It would be better if I didn't hand over the money. It would take me a long time to throw it away... but it would take me a long time to pick it up. Who is sitting there and picking it up for you..."
Suddenly, the parents waiting in line were impatient.
"You stinky old man, why are you so proud and arrogant? Hurry up and sign up, what are you talking about?"
"How do you talk to this parent..."
"I'm telling the truth. I've been dawdling for a long time. I came here yesterday and said I didn't do my homework. I have to come again today. Did I just sit there and not work all day? I ran back and forth... Stinky Old Nine , I really think that I am one thing..."
The window next to the window suddenly became noisy. The cursing parent leaned directly on the window and knocked the board blocking it. After knocking the board off, he pulled the iron railing and shook it. He put his index finger into the railing and pointed. The teacher's nose scolded.
Ye Yaodong now understood why he was acting like a spy visiting a prison.
Iron railings were also used to block registrations to prevent contact.
I originally thought it was because I was afraid of grabbing money or something, but now it seems that it was to protect teachers and prevent overly aggressive parents.
Looking back on those dark years, it makes sense to be so defensive.
There was a lot of commotion at the window next to him, and the teacher at the window next to him was also scared and quickly signed them up and issued a receipt.
Ye Chenghu pulled his trousers in fear, "Dad?"
"It's okay, just look at it and you'll be fine."
The parent was cursing and spitting at the window, but couldn't get in. After a while, a large group of people came and stopped him directly.
But people still kept scolding me.
"What kind of thing is it? It was as good as yours a few years ago? It's just an assignment. It doesn't work for this or that. We have to run over and over again. We are just here to learn a few words. Am I still a stinky old nine like you?"
"What's the use of reading so many books? I heard that Xianyudong from Baisha Village can be a boss even if he doesn't know a single person who can read. You who know how to read can only be the stinky old nine here..."
"I don't know anything. I haven't done a lot of work, so I just run around here. The child stayed up all night and became stupid. Didn't you notice that he lost a lot of weight?"
Ye Yaodong touched his nose in embarrassment, but he didn't expect that this would trigger the fire on him.
Fortunately, no one in the school knew him, and he never came forward about the scholarship.
No one present knew him.
That is, that child is a lot stronger than Ye Chenghu. Is that called thin?
"Don't yell like that, we are teachers. If you think studying is useless, there is no need to come and sign up."
"The Xianyudong you mentioned knows the importance of studying. He even offered a scholarship to our school to help his children study. They are not educated, but they know the importance of studying."
"The blind guy said...study is important? Studying is important, so why is the teacher beaten to death?"
"That was a matter of previous policies. Now that the college entrance examination has resumed, everyone knows the importance of reading and literacy. If you think studying is useless, there is no need to register here..."
"Studying is useless, but knowing words is useful. Look at your teacher's pickiness. Not doing homework is like a big deal. He has us running several times a day..."
…………
The two parties were arguing endlessly, and the head of the family was quarreling with each other.
When Ye Chenghu heard Xianyudong's name, his eyes widened and he looked up at his father.
Ye Yaodong pressed his head down and whispered: "What are you looking at? Haven't you heard of your father's famous name? Let's go, sign up and go home."
He grabbed his son's collar and stepped back.
"Finish it, Dad..."
"I've finished reading it."
The school compromised and if he was willing to sign up, he would sign up directly without looking at the homework.
Otherwise, it would be left there to make trouble, and there would still be many students around who haven’t signed up yet.
Those who were able to wait until the afternoon of the last day to sign up did so because they didn't know what to do, and they were afraid that all the parents would make trouble and scold them later.
There were quite a few parents in the crowd who were dissatisfied just now.
"Oh, you're signing up now? If I had known better, I wouldn't have written..."
Ye Yaodong slapped him on the back of the head, "If you don't write, I'll give away all your toys. What's more, your father is a civilized man. Whatever the teacher says is whatever he says. We must respect the teacher and cannot point at the teacher's nose and scold him. Did you know?"
"But that person just scolded me."
"That person has no culture and quality, so we can't imitate him. At least we have to be grateful. The teacher teaches you knowledge. Although he also works and gets paid, at least we also learned useful things from him. We You can’t put down your bowls and chopsticks without cursing..."
"oh."
"I can't explain the truth, so you just have to listen. Anyway, whether it's the teacher or others, we have to respect it."
"Oh, then Brother Ahai and the others haven't come over to sign up yet, haven't they made a profit?"
"Are you going to go back and tell them that they don't have to do their homework?"
Ye Chenghu shook his head like a wavy drum, "No, I've finished writing, and they must have finished writing the registration too!"
"We share the same difficulties. If you feel uncomfortable, they must also feel uncomfortable."
